First of all, there may be no Thursday post next week: I am leaving that day to judge a harp competition and teach a workshop in Grandfather Mountain, NC.
Moving onwards, not much to talk about this week. I took a deep breath and took a step back after finishing Scylla and Charybdis. There is more editing to do on Journal of the Dead, of course, but I'm not really in a rush and just ... enjoying the lapse. Some critique comments have made me aware I need to take another few pokes at the beginning, and I'm just letting it percolate before I attempt anything.
Working on another short story, though - a different take on one body, multiple souls / inhabitants. This seems to be one of my buttons and it gets pushed a lot. I also resubmitted Voices, which is set in the early history of Journal ... so my head has been unusually filled with mindspeech and ghosts lately. (There's a statement that, taken out of context, could get me sent to a psychiatrist. ;-))
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).

Good luck with your edits! And judging the harp competition :) I love being the flute judge.
I have a wedding to play on the fourth as well! Isn't that funny how people get married on that day? Have a great weekend pigging out with all your goodies :)
